Poster Session I

Keyword: Suicide

Abstract: Data were obtained from the STARRS-LS Survey. Multivariable logistic regression models predicted 12 month and lifetime suicidal ideation and suicide attempt, controlling for covariates among a sample of gun owners (n = 6,561). Unsecured storage practices significantly increased the odds of suicide ideation and attempt, after controlling for covariates.
